Write an equation for the line (4,7) and ( 1,1)2. Write an equation for the graph

Nastasia [14]

ANSWER:

$y=2x-1$

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We have that the equation in its slope-intercept form is the following:

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ m\text{ is the slope and b is the y-intercept } \end{gathered}$

The slope can be calculated as follows:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We use the points (4,7) and (1,1) to calculate the slope:

$m=\frac{1-7}{1-4}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2$

Now, we calculate the value of b, using the point (1,1) and the slope, like this:

$\begin{gathered} 1=1\cdot2+b \\ b=-2+1 \\ b=-1 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the equation would be:

$y=2x-1$

Needed help for my math please

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

$\frac{a}{a}$ = 1 ( any value divided by itself = 1 )

(b)

$\frac{a}{1}$ = a ( any value divide by 1 is the value itself )

(c)

$\frac{a}{b}$ × $\frac{c}{d}$ = $\frac{ac}{bd}$

The product of 2 fractions is the product of the numerators divided by the product of the denominators

(d)

$\frac{a}{b}$ ÷ $\frac{c}{d}$ = $\frac{ad}{bc}$

To divide 2 fractions, leave the first fraction, change division to multiplication and turn the second fraction upside down, that is

$\frac{a}{b}$ ÷ $\frac{c}{d}$ = $\frac{a}{b}$ × $\frac{d}{c}$ = $\frac{ad}{bc}$

(e)

$\frac{a}{d}$ + $\frac{b}{d}$ = $\frac{a+b}{d}$

Since the fractions have a like denominator, add the numerators leaving the denominator. This applies to subtraction also

(f)

$\frac{a}{d}$ - $\frac{b}{d}$ = $\frac{a-b}{d}$

See explanation for part (e)

A rectangular kitchen is 4 meters longer than it is wide. If the area of the kitchen is 192 square feet meters, how many meters

Lunna [17]

Lets x = width
length = x + 4 (4 meters longer than wide)

A = L * W
192 = x ( x +4)
192 = x^2 + 4x
x^2 + 4x - 192 = 0
(x +16)(x-12) = 0
x - 12 = 0, x = 12
x + 16 = 0, x = -16
so width x = 12
length = 12 + 4 = 16 (4 meters longer than wide)

answer. J

A triangle has legs that are 7in and 24in long. How long is the hypothenuse?

SashulF [63]

Answer: 25 in

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Due to the use of the term "hypotenuse" I will assume the triangle is a right triangle.</u>

<u></u>

According to pythagorean theorem, 7²+24²=(hypotenuse)²

49+24²= (hypotenuse)²

49+576= (hypotenuse)²

625 = (hypotenuse)²

25 = hypotenuse

Hope it helps <3 :D
